Country music artist Corey Smith is scheduled to headline the Carolina Country Showdown at Segra Park on Nov. 19, the Columbia Fireflies announced Tuesday.

Smith is a singer-songwriter and guitarist from Georgia who has been touring for nearly 20 years. His songs include “If I Could Do It Again” and “Twenty-One.”

Smith also is set to tour with Riley Green starting this fall, “so it may be fans last chance to catch Smith in a smaller setting,” the Columbia Fireflies said in a news release.

The Carolina Country Showdown also is set to feature Blackfoot, a southern rock band from Florida, known for “Highway Song” and “Train Train,” and Greg Payne and the Piedmont Boys, known for songs “Come on Out Tonight” and “Long Way to the Bottom.”

Ticket prices range from $30 to $50, which include a limited amount of on-field standing room tickets.

Gates for the Nov. 19 concert open at 5:30 p.m. for the 5:45 p.m show.
